A hip dislocation after having surgery for a torn labrum seems pretty bad to me. I don't think it matters whether the dislocation was simple or complex. The fact that a simple UR caused the dislocation indicates to me that Alissa's hip joint is too fragile for competitive skating.

We hope that this sad injury does not mark the end of Alissa's competitive career. But if it does, she can hold her head high. Here is the club of U.S. ladies since 1950 who won two or more national championships.

Wow, that's actually quite some company there. But more striking is who's NOT on that list...

ETA: I guess, in a sort of twisted way, better for it to happen here "behind the scenes" than on live national TV (imagine if it occurred during nationals!). Can't even seem to find a video of what happened for goodness sake.
